Ambiance Congo / The Other Black Music presents:

WELCOME!

All of the albums shown here have someone in common.

The extremely prolific, highly regarded and sought after Congolese master guitarist, composer and arranger Rigobert Bamundele, aka Rigo Star, contributed in ways large and small to every one of them.

I’ll be playing ALL music today featuring his work from some these LP albums and from CD albums that were never released on LP.

If you’re seeing this post and would like to pick out an album from this pile on the floor, please let me know in the comments.

WELCOME!

Welcome to another edition of Ambiance Congo.

We’re into our Fall 2023 Fund Drive. Thank you for your consideration and donations.

We’ll be telling you about that and passing the plate, so please make any donation that you can because, of course. you love what WRIR brings to your life.

But first and foremost, I’m here to play great music that you already love and cannot hear elsewhere or have never heard anywhere before but will enjoy today. That’s what WRIR is about.

The music today spans from the 1950s to this month.

Most times, I have at least one or two surprises and rare songs in the mix.

Today is no exception.
